John Hill Road – Moira New York This property is the same as the Tantilloo Way property It could be an entire gamut of prices and valuations The figure put the on the filing however is grossly understated 208 Washingtonville New York Route 208 is a state highway in Washingtonville The valuations there are fairly significant for lots with homes However we find it very diffiuclt to believe that there is any property on that road for 520000 There again we would gladly purchase the property out of bankruptcy The least expensive we could find on the maps as 11K and it backs Clove Street Having said that the houses built in that area go for about 450K Quite the investment and understatement |

theory highlighted by the Dada Bhai Naoroji A Abuse of trade practices by the merchants of the ruling race B Ill-gotten money taken from the princely rulers amp remitted to EnglandC Unrequited exports from IndiaD Gluttish from Indian markets with british manufactured goods Ans CDadabhai Naoroji’s work focused on the drain of wealth from India into England through colonial rule One of the reasons that the Drain theory is attributed to Naoroji is his decision to estimate the net national profit of India and by extension the effect that colonisation has on the country Through his work with economics Naoroji sought to prove that Britain was draining money out of India Naoroji described 6 factors which resulted in the external drain -Firstly India is governed by a foreign government -Secondly India does not attract immigrants which bring labour and capital for economic growth -Thirdly India pays for Britain’s civil administrations and occupational army -Fourthly India bears the burden of empire building in and out of its borders -Fifthly opening the country to free trade was actually a way to exploit India by offering highly paid jobs to foreign personnel -Lastly the principal income-earners would buy outside of India or leave with the money as they were mostly foreign personnel In Naoroji’s book ‘Poverty’ he estimated a 200–300 million pounds loss of revenue to Britain that is not returned Naoroji described this as vampirism with money being a metaphor for blood which humanised India and attempted to show Britain’s actions as monstrous in an attempt to garner sympathy for the nationalist movement When referring to the Drain Naoroji stated that he believed some tribute was necessary as payment for the services that England brought to India such as the railways However the money from these services were being drained out of India for instance the money being earned by the railways did not belong to India which supported his assessment that India was giving too much to Britain FRAMED FROM WIKEPEDIAQ37 Who among the following are the members of the Indian Ocean Rim Association 1 India2 Australia3 Indonesia4 MalaysiaSelect the correct answer

Amoghavarsha the Rashtrakuta ruler or Vishnuvardhana the Hoysala ruler The titles used by the Chola kings were Chakrvartigal or Chakravarti The royal household was run on an elaborate scale and royal patronage was lavish The political role of Purohita priest as known to northern Indian politics underwent a modification in the Chola system The Rajguru priest of the royal family of the Cholas became a confidant and confessor in addition to being the advisor in all matters temporal and sacred For further advice there was an assembly of officer whom the king would consultChola kingdom was divided into provinces mandalam their being generally eight or nine of these Each mandalam was divided into valanadus or districts These in turn were subdivided into groups of villages variously called kurram

level was something quiet remarkable for the times Chola officials participated in village affairs more as advisors and observers than as administratorsThe basic assumption in the type of village

the village or else was found exclusively in villages gifted to Brahmans and finally the nagaram was found more commonly in trade centers In some villages the ur and the sabha were found together Very large villages had two urs if this was more convenient for their functioning The working of these assemblies differed according to local conditions The ur was open to all male adults of the village but in affect the older members took a more prominent part some of them forming a small executive body for routine matters The sabha had the same system and in addition had the power to constitute smaller committees of any size from among its membersMOCK Q448- FRAMED FROM INDIAN CULTURE WEBSITE Q Consider the following passage :“The length of the saree in this folk dance is about 3 inches above
